System and Device for Active Hat

ABSTRACT

Present invention novelty is based on wearing an active hat on one&#39;s head, thus being able to activate, upon demand or in certain defined situations, opening or closing an object, operating or shutting off a visual presentation, when device controlling these actions is attached to the hat. Visual 2 or 3 dimensions presentation, or presentation using an electric screen, can be shown when device opens. The viewer will then be presented with, for example, electronic system, or an electric, or manual mechanism in motion, such as a 3-dimensions doll performing certain actions. Another possible application is appearance of a digital screen showing a picture, a motion picture or a demo, while hat is in open or closed position.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Present invention is a method, system and device, which allowinstalling, in a hat that will be put on one's head, a visualpresentation, or, in more details, certain opening (imitating a dooropening) at desired times, exposing demo, or presentation, or activemechanism, with movement ability.

Usage of external visual devices for visual presentations to children orother people has taken place in daily life since the beginning of thehuman race, improved and developed constantly. Visual presentationssupporting text and language of the presenting party help infacilitating and reinforcing ideas, goals and purposes.

A hat is an element immediately and clearly seen while observing aperson wearing one. A person wearing a hat can thus easily use it whenwishing to draw attention to a certain way of presenting things, createvisual attraction, reinforce and support a goal he wants to promote, orfor amusement, entertaining and educational purposes (forexample—teaching children how to brush their teeth).

Using a hat that supports visual elements and, optionally, vocalelements, such as a hat which opens partially at desired time, oroperates, or activates and puts into motion another element such as adoll (or child, or bear) figurine, eating to the sound of music, usedfor educating and allowing a young toddler to imitate proper eatinghabits.

There are already instruments vaguely reminding the general notion ofthis present invention, such as, among others, wall mounted clock fromwhich a Cuckoo bird emerges once every round hour, accompanied by vocaltwittering, sometimes related to the specific time of the day.

The present invention maintains a method, system and device allowinginstallation of above mentioned applications within a hat, to wear onthe head.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Invention is aimed at providing method, system and device, included andinstalled within a hat that will be on one's head, when system anddevice can be used as an integral part of the hat, or as a removabledevice that can be easily attached and removed from all kinds of hats.

When system and device all under same upgrade and include, in somedevices, a frontal instrument, simulating a door that opens or closes atcertain fixed times, hiding, when closed, an hollow space between it andthe hat, and which includes a 2-dimensions or a 3-dimensions figurine, adoll, for example, attached to a mechanical mechanism, electronicmechanism or a combination of both, enabling event control by pressingactivation switch or deactivation switch which starts or stops movementor motion of the doll. Doll's activity might be, but not necessarily,accompanied by vocal element and, or potential recorded voice message tobe heard when doll moves. This upgrade can also be accompanied by light.

Present invention can also be used not hiding the mechanism behind theopening door, so that its' parts are completely or partially exposed tothe viewers.

Additional upgrading of the present invention is the possibility ofincluding a computerized or electronic screen within the system anddevice, enabling showing pictures or VIDEO presentations, with orwithout sound effects, at scheduled time/s.
